No.  Transactionable means that commit and rollback cannot fail.

For bdrv_snapshot_create() it is the same as for bdrv_snapshot_delete()
(the overview I wrote was for qcow2_write_snapshots, which is the common
part of bdrv_snapshot_create() and bdrv_snapshot_delete()).

Please do one thing at a time.  Split the series in multiple pieces if
possible.  Otherwise you will just fail, and you will have wasted a lot
of your and other people's time.
